Copper cookware can be a bit of a chore to look after but if you follow these top 10 tips it will ensure that your copper cookware stays in the best condition possible.

1. Use a mild detergent, hot water and a soft sponge or dishcloth to clean it.
2. Soak cooked-on food – don’t try and scrub it off.
3. Use a circular rotating motion when cleaning the inside of a copper pot.
4. Don’t put a hot pan into water. This can cause irreversible warping.
5. Always use a low flame for cooking as Copper and tin are very good conductors of heat.
6. Never heat an empty pan.
7. Use only wood, rubber or plastic utensils.
8. Never use metal or abrasive utensils.
9. An all over patina is fine but don’t allow your cookware to develop darkened areas which can cause hot spots.
10. Don’t use aerosol cooking sprays as they can leave a gummy residue which is very hard to remove.

Copper cookware is used by chefs the world over and for good reason. The superior heat conductivity and rapid temperature changes make it a joy to work with.The All Clad Cop-R-Chef range of cookware is one of the best brands of copper cookware. It’s cookware for chefs or serious cooks.

The All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 7-Piece Cookware Set
is made from a tri-ply construction of a copper outer layer with a core of aluminum and a cooking surface of stainless steel. Both aluminum and copper are good conductors of heat – you won’t find hot spots on the surface and foods cook evenly. You will really notice the difference when you cook with this type of cookware.

The only drawback with copper cookware is maintaining it in the same condition as when you bought it. It requires regularly polishing and you will need to hand wash it. The dishwasher is not too kind on copper cookware and can turn it a dark color.

I am a great fan of MauvielCopper Cookware, it looks beautiful and it is durable and functional. It looks elegant hanging from a pot rack in the kitchen.

This Mauviel 5 pce M’Heritage Copper Cookware Set includes:

1.9-qt. Saucepan with Lid

3.5-qt. Saute Pan with Lid

9.5-in. Fry Pan Mauviel

The Mauviel cookware set is made by a French family business which was established in 1830 so they have loads of experience in making cookware. The business is located in the Normandy town of Villedieu-les-Poeles and is the foremost manufacturer of professional copper cookware in the world today. They have a large range of different lines of copper cookware including specialty items that are highly regarded by professional cooks.

What can I say! Here is just another beautifully crafted casserole from Ruffoni.

The Classici line is made from copper that measures 1.5mm to 2.5mm in thickness which means your casserole will give you quick even heating and constant cooking temperature. Copper also cools quickly ensuring you get perfect results when you are melting chocolate or heating sugar.

This beautiful piece is one that you won’t want to hide away in the cupboard. This is definately a show piece.

But not only is the Ruffoni Classici 9-1/2 in. Bombe Shaped Casserole beautiful it also gives outstanding cooking results. Copper is ideal for when you are making tasty risotto’s, sauteing, braising and in fact any recipe that needs precise temperature control. Food will not stick to the bottom of the casserole or burn as long as you maintain the right temperature and stir the contents.

The Ruffoni Classici Bombe Shaped Casserole has handles that are made in cast brass or forged iron which nicely compliment the copper.

This is a casserole that you will get a lot of use from plus you will receive a lot of compliments about its great style.

With a 4 quart capacity, this braiser is large enough to cook a meal for a big family or for when you are entertaining.

The domed lid seals in the moisture allowing the steam to return to the pan, keeping in all the moisture and flavor. And because the lid is domed you will find that the braiser allows you to easily fit in those larger cuts of meat.

The Cop-r-Chef braiser has an extra thick copper exterior with an inner core of pure aluminum not only on the bottom but also up around the sides for fast, even heating and the interior has a polished 18/10 stainless steel finish which will not react with food.

There are 2 stay-cool handles on the side of the pan that are attached with non-corrosive rivets.

This Cop-r-Chef braiser is beautifully finished so once you have taken it from the stove or the oven, it is stylish enough to serve at the table.
